I'm trying to build iftop (http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/) on my
NetBSD-1.6.1 machine, but the config script dies with a complaint about
POSIX threads:

        [...]

checking pcap.h usability... yes
checking pcap.h presence... yes
checking for pcap.h... yes
checking for a curses library containing mvchgat... -lncurses
checking how to compile a working program with POSIX threads... no idea
configure: error: can't figure out how to compile with POSIX threads
  If your system actually supports POSIX threads, this means we've messed up.

Are POSIX threads supported by NetBSD? If so, how do I go about installing
this support? I don't see anything too promising in the packages
collection.

The developer's site only mentions linux (ReHat and SuSE) as being
supported. Am I just SOL?
